Join Anne-Marie Concepción for an in-depth discussion in this video Updating a form field without redoing the fields, part of Acrobat X Tips and Tricks.
Here we have a final form; a beautiful little invitation to a celebration.…And now, it is not Oilfest 2010. It's later, another year, and we need to update…it. And maybe we need to update some of the information over here as well.…Does that mean that we have to start from scratch? Find the original file,…export it, then do the form recognition, and set all these things up? Why no.…If you have the original form, or even if you don't, all you need to do…is replace the page.…
What we are going to do is we are going to open up the Page Thumbnail panel,…right-click, and choose Replace Pages.…Because all of the form data, all of these fields, they are kind of like -- they…float on a higher layer than the actual PDF page.…So it's kind of like, say, changing a tablecloth by snapping it, and keeping all…the silverware in place. You know that old magician's trick?…It's kind of like what we are going to do.…Of course, we just have a few form fields here, but imagine if you had a 20 page…form with hundreds of fields, and you needed to update the text.…
